Did You Know? The Truth About Your Candle's Wax Matters!

Did You Know? The Truth About Your Candle's Wax Matters!

Not all candles are created equal, and the type of wax you burn makes a big difference in your home and the environment.

Soy wax vs. paraffin—what’s really in your air?

  • Soy wax burns up to 50% longer than paraffin! That means more hours of cozy, flickering light and a better value for your money.

  • It also releases 90% fewer toxins into the air. Paraffin, a petroleum byproduct, can emit harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene, contributing to indoor air pollution. With soy wax, you get a cleaner, safer burn—no headaches, no harsh chemicals.

  • Soy wax is biodegradable and sustainable. Unlike paraffin, which lingers in landfills and harms ecosystems, soy wax breaks down naturally, reducing environmental impact. Plus, it comes from a renewable resource—soybeans—supporting sustainable farming!

At LAWA Candles, we believe in transparency and quality. That’s why we use EcoSoya wax, one of the purest soy waxes available, ensuring a toxin-free, eco-friendly, and luxurious candle experience.

Because your well-being and the planet deserve better.
